Towards a Standardization of Learning Behavior Indicators in Virtual Environments

Abstract

The need to analyze student interactions in virtual learning environments (VLE) and the improvements this generates is an increasingly emerging reality in order to make timely predictions and optimize student learning. This research aims to implement a proposal of standardized learning behavior indicators in virtual learning environments (VLE) to design and implement efficient and timely learning analytics (LA) processes. The methodology consisted of a data management analysis that was carried out in the Moodle platform of the Faculty of Education Sciences of the National University of San Agustin of Arequipa, with the participation of 20 teachers, where qualitative online questionnaires were used to collect the participants' perceptions. The results propose a standard in terms of indicators of behavior in the teaching-learning process in EVA as they are: Preparation for learning, progress in the progress of the course, resources for learning, interaction in the forums and evaluation of resources. These were evaluated through learning analytics and show the efficiency of the proposed indicators. The conclusions highlight the importance of implementing standardized behavior indicators that allow us to efficiently develop learning analytics processes in VLE in order to obtain better predictions to make timely decisions and optimize the teaching-learning processes.

How Does VR Customer Knowledge Education Promote Sustainable Product Purchase Intention? A Study Based on Self-Determination Motivation Theory

“…This learning method contradicts traditional education, which merely imparts knowledge to learners. Some scholars have included reflective and personal engagement components in topic training to improve learning outcomes [20][21][22]. VR immersive education is an essential part of long-term education for users because it can enhance the information-input strategies used in traditional classrooms, allowing learners to gain access to more audiovisual resources.…”

Towards the Development of Emotions through the Use of Augmented Reality for the Improvement of Teaching-Learning Processes

“…The Augmented Reality technology is one of 21st century emerging technologies, which has several applications in daily life [1]. In the educational environment the Augmented Reality Technology would fit perfectly like a support tool in students training using emotions [2]. Being that, there is no learning without emotion.…”

“…This is important according to [23]: "When a student acquires new knowledge, the emotional and cognitive parts operate in an interrelated way in his/her brain. Moreover, emotion acts as a guide to the acquisition of that learning, so that it labels experiences as positive and therefore attractive to learn or as negative, therefore likely to be avoided" [2].…”

A Predictive Model Implemented in KNIME Based on Learning Analytics for Timely Decision Making in Virtual Learning Environments

“…They tend to be self-sufficient with studies that respond to their purposes and short-term needs. It is here where we seek to intervene, providing tools that allow to contribute and contribute efficiently, with relevant information for these decision-making processes, in this case, making an application limited in scope only to variables that directly impact the retention of the students, basing the analysis on these factors and correlations that are assumed, which affect retention, this in order to be able to intervene in a timely manner with preventive rather than corrective actions [3].…”
